Shawn Bradley collected 18 points and 10 rebounds as the Dallas
Mavericks blew a 10-point lead down the stretch, then shut down
the Golden State Warriors for most of overtime to post an 88-82
victory.

After Erick Dampier's lay-in with 12 seconds left in regulation
forged a 78-78 tie, Bradley got things going in the extra
session, scoring his team's first three points. Bubba Wells had
four points in the overtime as the Mavericks gave coach Don
Nelson a win against his former club.

"It wasn't pretty, but it was a 'W'," said Nelson. "It was a
great step in our player development program. I told the bench
guys I was not taking them out. I was leaving them in there for
them to win it."

Dampier and former Maverick Jim Jackson scored 18 points each
for the Warriors. Jackson scored all four of Golden State's
overtime points on baskets with 4:04 and one second remaining.

Jackson, who recorded season highs with 12 rebounds and six
steals, also paced the Warriors' furious comeback in the final
two minutes of regulation.

Two free throws by Eric Riley gave the Mavs a 78-68 lead with
2:46 remaining, but regulation was all Golden State thereafter.
Donyell Marshall hit four free throws before Jackson had a
jumper and a dunk to cut it to two. With 22 seconds left,
Jackson stole the ball and fed Dampier for the tying dunk.

"A lot of good memories here," said Jackson of his 4 1/2 seasons
with the Mavericks. "A lot of my friends are here and I still
live here in the summertime. I wish that we could have won the
game and it would have been better."

Riley had a career-high 16 points along with six rebounds, four
assists and three blocks for Dallas. Bradley added six
rejections in 36 minutes off the bench.

"Coach feels like he wants to bring me off the bench right now,
to help me, I guess, to get relaxed," Bradley said.

Martin Muursepp netted 14 points and A.C. Green 10 for the
Mavericks, who shot just 39 percent (34-of-88) from the field
but tied a season high with 12 blocks.

Tony Delk scored 14 points while Marshall finished with 13 and
12 rebounds for the Warriors, who shot a dismal 34 percent
(32-of-95).

Golden State led briefly in overtime when Jackson's tip-in gave
it an 80-79 lead. But Bradley put home a follow shot and
Muursepp had a lay-in, then hit 1-of-2 from the line to open an
84-80 lead. Wells, who had six points and seven rebounds, hit
four free throws to cement the victory before Jackson beat the
buzzer with a meaningless lay-in.

"Just because we don't win doesn't mean that we don't get
better," Marshall said. "We play hard every game. We put
ourselves into position to win the last three games, we just
didn't do it."

The Warriors suffered a 100-98 overtime defeat to Toronto on
Sunday before a five-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers
Tuesday.

Bradley, who registered his 16th double-double of the season,
scored 11 points in the first half to guide the Mavericks to a
43-39 lead at the break.
